Armstrong Garden Centers will host two free holiday parties at all Los Angeles and Orange County locations this season: an Open House on Dec. 5 and Christmas Family Fun Hours on Dec. 7. Both events include special perks and one-time-only savings.

â€œItâ€™s an annual Armstrong tradition to spread holiday cheer and give back to our customers,â€ said Gary Jones, Armstrongâ€™s vice president of marketing. â€œWeâ€™ve decked our halls to show whatâ€™s in season and what weâ€™ve grown. We hope to inspire everyone with our Christmas spirit at our events and encourage our customers to bring their friends and family.â€

Armstrongâ€™s Open House runs Thursday, Dec. 5, from 4 pm until 8:00 p.m. At each store location, Danish-style Christmas Kringles and Poinsettia champagne (champagne mixed with cranberry juice) will be served (restricted to 21+ adults only). Free custom tote bags will be distributed while supplies last.

On Saturday, Dec. 7, Armstrongâ€™s Garden Centers will host Christmas Family Fun Hours from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Complimentary apple cider and tasty treats will be served. Visitors are encouraged to stage family photo shoots in front of a striking poinsettia tree displays.

Foremost among Armstrong Garden Centersâ€™ California-grown plants are its signature poinsettias, recognized as one of the most diverse and comprehensive selections in the nursery market. Armstrong also grows delicate cyclamens in white, red and jewel-toned blooms that can be enjoyed inside and out. Another popular holiday bloom, paper-white narcissus, lends elegance and a pleasant perfume to every room.
